I suppose that if we had lost the B of B there wouldn`t have been any point in you coming in. Without a Western front to worry about the Germans would probably have rolled up the Russians. You wouldn`t have known anything about it until the panzers came across the Bering Strait and down through Alaska. What a scenario!

In the past I have shipped model rocket motors and other such things but as we all know times change. I will check with UPS. However in this case it may not be a good value since the motor only has a couple of good years left. The $450 from BRS as I recall includes the shipping and may be abetter overall value.

Anyone can ship acceptable hazardous stuff as long as the packing meets federal guidlines. The catch is that you have to go to a 2 day seminar to be certified. They tell me that it is not a big deal, but it must be done.

The biggest problem would be if leaving the gasket off causes the tip of the plug to be extended into the head far enough to accumulate a thickness of carbon, and then the next time you took the plug out, damages the threads in the head. Next time you have a head off, put the plug in without the gasket but with the sensor ring and see if the plug end extends past the head surface. If it does, then I would keep the gasket on.

FYI they were a set of wings from a Cub or Champ, and tail-feathers, ditto. Then a skeleton of welded-up 4130, whatever engine was available, mounted as a pusher, and no covering anywhere except for wings & tailfeathers. Usually not even a windscreen. Flew like a (slow) dream, lots of fun, but you learned to keep your mouth shut in case of flies, bugs, etc. Used to be reasonably common, but haven't seen many in recent years. In re the humungous "grizzly bear". A very excting and alarming story -- but it set off my radar & raised a bunch of flags -- and I don't believe a word of it. The "Alaskan newspaper" wasn't identified, nor the "US Forest Service employee" who shot it. And the height of 14 feet is WAY larger than any Alaskan Brown bear -- believed to be the largest carnivore on the planet. No. No way I'll believe this. An entertaining, scary, impressive, memorable BS story. That I'll believe. I haven't seen any of the pictures, but I have seen what Photoshop can do. Sorry, but I don't buy this for a nanosecond.

I was in Missouri in 2003, on Table Rock Lake, right near the Arkansas border, and caught this Breezy flying by: http://rtlaird.ath.cx:99/Aviation/breezy.jpg He looked like he was having fun! It had the distinctive sound of a Lycoming engine when it flew by. -- Robert ________________________________ Message 28 ____________________________________ Time: 07:11:09 PM PST US From: "Dale Sellers" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Sparkpl;ugs --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dale Sellers" Jimmy, The instructions that came with my Westack probe said to leave the washer out.

I have a goofy sideways universal joint, which seems designed to fatigue the bolt that controls the ailerons. I have been trying to come up with a better configuration, like yours. I have to use a lot of force on the stick in gusty weather and my 15" old style ailerons are hard to push against. Is this a change by Kolb, or your own design?

The photos show two springs from Lowes but I added a 3rd one after these photos were taken. The system does eliminate the forward or back stick pressure ________________________________ Message 30 ____________________________________ Time: 10:28:03 PM PST US From: Flycrazy8@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: D-Day --> Kolb-List message posted by: Flycrazy8@aol.com Hurray for the Brits !!....." never before have so much been owed to so few" but like Prissy said in "Gone with the Wind"....
